Think Ethos is easily gamed? Here are 20 mechanisms we use to prevent gaming—from invitation bonds and score-weighted reviews to slashing risks and bounties for catching abusers.
EIP-12 and EIP-13 are now live. EIP-12 introduces influence handicaps, while EIP-13 recalibrates vouching to penalize low-stakes vouch farms. Scores are recalculating.
EIP-6 lets you mark AI-generated or spam reviews on your profile. Flag generic positive reviews that don't actually describe you and help keep Ethos spam-free.
Install Ethos as a PWA on your phone. Get real-time notifications for score changes, respond to slashes quickly, and vote on EIPs from anywhere.
Ethos introduces the "Known" credibility level (1400-1600) to better differentiate genuine newcomers from spam accounts. Neutral users now have 0 voting impact as the platform scales its anti-spam measures.
Ethos launches Community EIPs, giving users the power to propose changes to how credibility scores are calculated. Anyone with an active Ethos profile can now submit and vote on governance proposals.
EIP-5 introduces reputation boosts for users with established social graphs, allowing up to +400 credibility based on existing social presence. This helps normalize scores for well-known figures.
Introducing Ethos Listings—cast bullish or bearish votes on projects using your reputation-weighted voting power. Signal what you believe in, backed by credibility.
